Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 650 Looking at each other 3

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It's still early. I haven't thought too much about it. Let's take it one step at a time. Let's go. The meal at home should be ready. Let's go back and eat first and come back next time."

The old man walked out with his hands behind his back, "Come, come, I will definitely come back next time. This is a treasure land."

A group of people walked slowly towards the village.

When they got home, the whole house was waiting for them. They didn't know when Zhou Xing and his group returned.

Seeing them coming back, Li smiled and said, "Okay, okay, now we can have dinner. I was just saying I would send someone to call you."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "We won't be called when we eat."

There were so many people, so the family split into two tables, one for the adults and one for the children.

The child Zhou Guo is different. He sits at the same table with the adults.

Old Madam Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were shocked when they saw the dishes on the table. There were all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, including sea cucumbers, abalone, scallops, prawns, lamb shrooms, flower mushrooms, pine mushrooms, rabbit, pheasant, braised pork and fat duck.

Li added: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I made some. You can pick up whatever you like and eat it. I'm from the countryside, so we don't have any rules or food. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Zhou Guo looked at her teasingly. What are you talking about? You've taken out all the food from the bottom of the box at home, and there's still nothing to eat?

Li glared at her secretly: You're polite, you know what?

Madam Zhao said hurriedly, "Look at what you said. There's no room for chopsticks on the table, and you still say there's no food. Everything from the mountains and the sea is here. If there's still no food on the table, we'd be really ungrateful."

Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything. She was not very willing at first. This family was a farming family. I heard that they were refugees from the south a few years ago. How could such a family raise a good daughter?

As a result, when I saw Zhou Xing, I felt that she was different from other farm girls. The Zhou family was not like an ordinary farm family, except that the house was a little smaller.

Now, when I look at this table full of dishes, I no longer have any resentment in my heart. A table full of dishes like this is not something an ordinary family can get.

Take abalone of that size for example. Even a middle-class landlord from her mother's family who owns 400 acres of land can't get one.

There are also sea cucumbers and prawns, but even in their restaurant you can't just eat them whenever you want.

The two women were very satisfied with the table full of delicacies from land and sea.

Apart from a few compliments at the beginning, the two men were no longer interested in it.

Old man Zhao at the table kept asking Zhou Guo questions, but he knew the importance of the matter and didn't ask how the fertilizer was made.

Zhou Guo also answered happily. What's the big deal about answering these trivial matters?

"If you want to see how effective this fertilizer is, you can go to our vegetable garden. It's growing very well."

The old man said, "The vegetables are growing well not only because of the fertilizer, I have done my best."

Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Yes, my master is the biggest contributor. Now the vegetables are growing better and better. All the vegetables in our family are grown by him alone. He is really amazing."

The old man was very happy and nodded with satisfaction.

The Zhao family enjoyed the meal to their heart's content, not to mention Old Man Zhao, who had the biggest appetite except Zhou Guo and ate the most deliciously.

Old Madam Zhao likes seafood, and her favorites are scallops and abalone. Mrs. Zhao especially likes shrimps. She elegantly ate most of the two large plates of shrimps.

After finishing the meal, I looked at the pile of shells on the table and felt a little embarrassed, "I accidentally ate too much."

Li smiled and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. Look at my little girl, she eats so much in one meal."

Mrs. Zhao had seen this before. She was really shocked when the big bowl came for the first time. She was worried whether she could finish it. But she ate one bowl and asked for two more. She really had a big appetite.

Madam Zhao smiled and said, "What's the big deal? My old man has a big appetite and eats a lot at every meal. I see he is enjoying his meal and he gets along well with your girl like they are from the same generation."

After finishing the meal, the Zhao family was about to go back, and matchmaker Wang followed them.

The Zhou family sent the people to the car, watched them leave from a distance, and then returned to the yard.

Then they all looked at Zhou Xing, "How is it, are you interested?"

Zhou Xing's face was no longer red, and she said, "He's a nice person, but it's my first time meeting him, so I can't tell much. What do you think?"

Zhou Mai and others began to express their opinions.

Zhou Mai said, "I think he's good too. He likes farming and doesn't like studying. He's not good at studying, but he didn't hide this from us. He even told us how many people he's dated over the years, and he didn't hide his own strengths and weaknesses. I think he's honest."

Zhou Mi: "He also knows how to take care of others. Even though he is the only son, he knows how to take care of the younger ones. He is not a dull person. He is more considerate than the average person and knows how to care for others."

Everyone said what they had said, and then looked at Zhou Guo, except for her who hadn't spoken yet.

Zhou Guo said: "Actually, I met the old man in his family before this."

He recounted the circumstances of their meeting.

"I think the Zhao family's family tradition is still good, especially his two elders. They only have one wife at home, which is considered a big landlord. They don't even have a concubine. They can only take concubines when they are over 40 and have no children. Ordinary families can't do that."

The old man nodded and said, "That's right. For a big landlord like them, their family has no shortage of money or food, so it's easy for them to have one or two concubines, especially since they have been the only heir for three generations. It's really not easy to have such a rule."

Li said, "I think the old lady and the lady are pretty good. They talk about whatever they want. Although the lady is a bit too much, you saw her eat one of the two plates at dinner. Her true nature was revealed. She loves to eat and is easy to get along with."

She said to Zhou Xing, "If you get married in the future, cook a couple of delicious meals for them from time to time, and they will like you, especially you, the future mother-in-law. Look at the way she dresses. She loves dressing up and eating. If you follow her wishes, she will treat you as her own daughter in a few days.

The old lady only has her husband, son and grandson in her eyes. She seems not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. I heard that she dislikes her because she can't read. You don't have to worry about this. You have learned a lot of words over the years. There are so many books in your room. You have read a lot. Maybe you have read more books than the kid from the Zhao family. The old lady likes her very much. "

In this way, it seems that everyone in the Zhao family has no major problems and is suitable for marriage.

Zhou Xing nodded and said, "Okay, then that's their home."

I'm already old, and if I delay any further, I'll become a joke.

Zhou Guo said: "There's no rush. Let's look around. If there are no problems, we can find a date to discuss the marriage."
